Mar. 21, 2006 Following U-K is generally an interesting endeavor, one of my symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. I can’t seem to control my urge to see people get lambasted in front of the world. It’s kind of like watching a skunk being squashed on an open highway, Technicolor everywhere…and the smell, Hoo Ra as they say in the marines. Dawn Carr announced she would never write another article for U-K and that she wouldn’t even visit this sight again. Well, well I wish she had contacted some of us old-timers before she plunged in the shark-infested waters of U-K. She swam out too far and I’m sure some of the big boys took her for a crippled porpoise and savagely ripped her articles apart, nothing new. Useless Knowledge is filled with sharks and barracudas hungry as hell for a meal. Once in awhile an innocent fish will fall into the tank and is swallowed quickly by the religious-right killer whales, the ultra-conservative piranhas, or the self-righteous sharks that swim in this territory. It happens more often than not. I keep coming back more with the hope some of the wildlife here has evolved into more civil creatures, but nay…not so little brothers. The mud continues to sling for nobody’s eyes. Since we lost our readership from Google and Yahoo, it seems we have lost our civility as well. At one time there was a code of conduct between thieves and heavy hitters, but it’s been lost. Good journalism does not exist on this sight any longer. I have great respect for one writer, Judy Ramsook. Judy continues to grind out informative, nonbiased columns which continue to follow the code of ethics driving most journalists…stick with the topic, be interesting, give facts, and save the editorials when editorials are needed. U-K continues to be a magazine where everyone wants to be the next player on CBS’s Sixty Minutes…never gonna happen folks.
Keep trying though. It’s fun to watch. Being a Democrat, I’ve never hidden the fact, I just love to watch the conservatives squirm for once. Their illiterate president has embarrassed them, but none of them want to say it. They’re too proud to say the word “impeach.” Bill Clinton wet his whistle with some young chick in a White House closet. G.W. has wet his whistle at the tune of billions of dollars a day on the backs of innocent civilians and young soldiers, and still his followers won’t use the word I-m-p-e-a-c-h. Come on guys let’s say altogether: IMPEACH!
